WASHINGTON — Look Good…Feel Better, a global program dedicated to boosting cancer patients’ self-esteem and confidence through lessons on appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment, has announced the details of 12 new partnership programs being launched to support Look Good...Feel Better during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Each program provides financial and/or educational support for Look Good…Feel Better and its mission to help people with cancer regain their appearance, self-confidence and some normalcy while battling cancer. The funds raised through these partnerships will go to the Personal Care Products Council Foundation to benefit the Look Good…Feel Better program.

“We are delighted to have the support of so many partner organizations and brands to raise awareness and funds for Look Good…Feel Better during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” stated Louanne Roark, executive director of the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and Look Good…Feel Better. “More than 200,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Excluding skin cancers, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in women, many of whom will not only face the physical effects of the disease itself, but the psychological toll that treatment and recovery can have as well. Changes in appearance, from complexion and skin sensitivity to hair loss, can be devastating to a woman with cancer. Look Good…Feel Better helps improve morale and gives women with all forms of cancer back some control, confidence and hope during a very difficult time.”

Look Good…Feel Better will participate in the following October programs that raise awareness and funds to support the program. All funds raised will go to the Personal Care Products Council Foundation to benefit Look Good…Feel Better:
